Additional Info:	“Uncertainty Principle”; “Change is constant”; “There is no truth unless you accept it as such, nor even this”. What is their common theme? An oxymoron? “I know that I know nothing?” It’s not the type of knowledge you know that counts nowadays but the eclectic synthesis of ideas from various disciplines and database that wins! (Language across the curriculum!) Guess what cohesive devices are used below? (A riddle?) "Had I not had the strength and wisdom of a warrior, I would have to give up.” sang Sade. “I didn’t know my own strength!” echoed Whitney. “I’m at the borderline of my faith; I’m at the hinterland of my devotion; In the front line of this battle of mine, but I’m still alive.” Sade replied. “Do you feel the same?” Bangles pondered. How can we orchestrate the symphony of life? How can we harmonize various aspects of our inner self? I graduated with the following awards: 1.

My lifelong insatiable urge for personal enrichment and knowledge acquisition guards and guides my future interests (hot cognition). 5. I, student-centered, empathetic and understanding, aspire to co-construct knowledge with students yearning for the development of psychological capital (resilience, optimism and commitment), cultivation of creativity (synthesis and combination) and critical thinking skills (evaluation and analysis). I hope my wide coverage of a multitude of disciplines can help you excel in almost all subjects, particularly science and English, and revel in lifelong learning. “The best way to learn is to learn from the best!” How can I tell the best from the rest? “A still mind can still all restless minds!” Might I calm your ‘rough sea’? (No more paradigm shift? 'Transfer' is constant?)
